IMPROVEMENT IN FLOWS.

The Schedule referred to in these Lettrs Patent and making part of 'the same.

To all whom it may concern:

. Be it known that I, EDWARD \VIARD, of Louisville, in the county of Jefferson, and State of Kentucky, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Flows; and

'1 do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear,

and exact description thereof, which will enablc others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reflerence being bad to theaccompanying drawings, forming; part of this specification, in which-- Figure 1 is a detail cross-section, through the line x, fig. 2. v

Figure 2 is a view of the inside of a iiould-lioairh showing the handle affixed thereto by means of my improved devices.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts. The object of this invention is to provide a simple and efi'ectivc means of attaching the straight handle of plows to the mould-board; and

It consists of two peculiar-shaped seats, and one or more hooks cast on the inner side of the mould-board, in combination with a bolt or bolts passing through the handle, tlie whole operating together as herein set forth.

In the drawings A is the mould-board, and a a, the two seats.

b is the hook, and c, the bolt.

The seats are formed with side proiections,.which hold the handle B in place.

The' hook or hooks b are formed with a slot, 11, in which'the bolt 0 is inserted.

The bolthas a head, j; and a nut, 42, and serves to hold the handle tightlyin its seats.

, That portion of the bolt within the slot is made square, so that it cannot turn when the nut is being screwed or unscrewed.

The seats may be cast with small sharp projections, which will indent the encountering face of the wooden handle, and thus serve to prevent it from straining the bolt andhook, and enablingthe bolt to hold the handle more firmly.

The seats and hook are cast on the mould-board, the

hooks being arranged between the seats, as shown.

Having thus described myinvention,

I claim as new and desire to seem-e b Y 'Letters Patent- The lugs 11- c, with their projecting points, in com-'
